Though this book can be read as a stand alone; as it does work rather well by itself, I recommend that you read The Guardian first. I truly enjoyed reading this book.

Adela is a powerful vampire that has suffered an abundance of losses and is now caught up in a romantic love triangle with John and Gala. The story line and characters are well developed with just the right amount of action and romance. This well paced story quickly pulls you in and you feel like you are right there so that for me made it a unique read. If you love reading vampire books then this is definitely one for you.

Great Story telling

Everything Else

I want to Fight like Lila

I was introduced to V E Schwabs work in January by a friend and i pretty much read all her series in the space of a week an a half. However out of all of her books the darker shade series is my Favorite, Victoria creates an amazing world within world. Her characters are lovable and flawed than will make you love them more. Lila Bard is a fantastic Female protagonist and whilst Kell may be the lead there chemistry together is undeniable.
If you love fantasy good story telling magic mystery suspense then these books are for you!

I believe

The Christmasaurus was wonderful book mixing the children's magic of christmas with dinosaurs, two things kids love. This, the second book in the series doesn't let the magic go, if anything this is a better story. Tom Fletcher manages to weave a complicated story about magic and time travel and yet still make it suitable for children and the illustrations make it even more gorgeous. This series has the potential to be made into a movie and become some of the best love Christmas characters in the world. My daughter loved this book, so did i. She is 8 and I am 40.

It’s a lovely little short film, that’s very sweet and beautifully filmed. One for hopeless romantics everywhere.

Positives:
For a short film, this has impressive production values. The cinematography and, lighting is all beautifully done, giving the production a glossy and professional feel.
Who doesn’t love a sloppy love story once in a while? Yes, the leads perhaps have a few rough edges, but they give it lots of heart.

Negatives:
As a film that’s less than 10 minutes long, it doesn’t give much of a chance to develop a great story arc. The end of the piece in particular feels rather rushed. It could almost be a template for a longer 90 minute feature.
